Exegesis
The verse opens with a vav-consecutive verb vayeda {וַיֵּדַע | way-yē-ḏaʿ} ‘and he knew’, marking the start of a narrative sequence and introducing action toward almenotav {אַלְמְנוֹתָיו | almenōṯāw} ‘their widows’.
In context — Ezekiel 19:7
And he knew their widows, and he laid waste their cities; the land and all its fullness were appalled at the sound of his roaring.
